I keep getting "Reminders" that some web page cannot be opened, even when I'm not online or on the Internet, and I'd like to stop it.

For days now, a "Reminder" box pops up on my screen every few minutes. It's followed by whatever the date is. It always says that a Web page cannot be opened and to try various things, even though I'm not online or trying to open any page. I can get rid of it by opening the task manager (control, alt, delete), but it comes back in a few minutes. I tried "System Restore" but that's not working, for an unrelated reason. I'd like to stop this annoying reminder. Thanks.

Might be spyware or adware. You could try scanning for that and remove spyware if you find any.

HT1338 I'm getting a message that my Java is not updated, but when I run the update check, I'm told all is updated. Some web materials won't open because my Java is not updated. What do I do?

Hi Ginny,
There are no more updates for Java from Apple for 10.5.8, the only way to get a Java upgrade is updating your OSX.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:

And it's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account Apple will send one free.

After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Help?

After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Usually non-text confirm type links. Like to enter an account.
One Example below. I can't click open the 'My Account' button at the top: http://www.boostmobile.com/
I also miss the Google toolbar. I used it frequently.
I am ready to revert to an older version of Firefox.

I did't have a problem clicking on the link. It is JavaScript perhaps you have JavaScript turned off Tools > Options > Content or perhaps NoScript extension.
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
*Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5 http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
*the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

I keep getting banner that there is 8 apps to be updated, when i go to the App Store it says all app are updated, how do i get this to stop?

i keep getting banner that there is 8 apps to be updated, when i go to the App Store it says all app are updated, how do i get this to stop?
It seems that every time I start up the IPad the banner over ITunes shows 8 or more in the banner. I have completly signed off of the ipad and it still comes up. Any suggestions? It seems to have coincided with IOS 7 being released, I have not downloaded IOS 7 to my IPad or my Iphone at this time.

I"m not sure exactly what to do because once I got mine sorted out I can't exactly replicate it to test it, but it's like somehow your ID gets messed up.
I tried to download an app, then Apple thought that I'd never bought anything from my device so went through the whole 'give your secret questions' thing and ended up having to call apple to get them to reset.
Long story short, the inability to update has something to do with the App Store not recognizing your device, even though part of it does recognize your device (which is why you get the little badges)
You could try downloading a free app and see if you can verify your ID. Or you can poke around in here
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
and see if you can manage your account and see if that helps.

Delete some stuff to make room on the device.
iCloud is not local storage and has nothing to do with your situation.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

When trying to cler all browsing history at the location bar, although I follow the instructions to 'ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight them one at a time and hit delete, they remain. What can I do to eliminate them?

When trying to delete web pages from my history at the location bar drop-down area, I do as Firefox instructs by hitting the 'ctrl, shift, delete' keys but some web pages remain. Even if I highlight each page and hit delete, they remain. How can I eliminate these web pages?

If you visit a bookmarked site then that site will become a history item and shows as such in the location bar drop down list.

After exiting proxifier software while web pages are still open in firefox, I could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted. Plz help me.

I have a problem with Firefox when using Proxifier software. When proxifier is runing and I'm browsing web pages with firefox all things is OK. But after exiting proxifier while web pages are still open in firefox, I encounter a problem. In spite of the internet is still connected but my firefox could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted.
You are kindly requested help me how to solve this problem not to restart firefox.

Hi,
[http://proxifier.com/ Proxifier] seems to be a transparent proxy. So you could try setting '''No proxy''' in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption Advanced] > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''.
PS: A quick way to restart Firefox is to press [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI '''Shift''' + '''F2'''], type '''restart''', and hit '''Enter'''.

Ipad mini keeps telling me siri is not available, connect to the internet and i haven't asked for siri to do anything

just got a new ipad mini. even when its just sitting idle, it will tell me that Siri is not available, connect to the internet. don't find anything in set up that speaks to sensitivity. what gives? anyone else had this issue?

If you can't turn it off directly on the iPad via Settings > iCloud and you want to put the iPad back to factory defaults (or restore to a backup) then try recovery mode : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - you will need to enter the iCloud account's id and password to reactivate the iPad.

My computer tells me that Firefox is still open even when I can not see it. It will not allow me to open it to use.

I received an error message about a "spooler" and Firefox crashed. Ever since then I can not open Firefox but when I close down my computer it says Firefox is open. I have no access to Firefox

There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

my iphone cannot open itself. they told that their is a problem on my power IC. where can i go to repair and replace the parts and how much it will coast? please help me. im in the philippines

If the device is still under warranty, take it back to Apple or whomever provides support in your country.
If it's not under warranty, take it wherever you like. Apple does not sell parts nor do they repair devices. They will offer an out of warranty replacement which is a complete, refurbished iPhone for the Out of Warranty replacement cost.

I keep getting "Reminders" that some web page cannot be opened, even when I'm not online or on the Internet, and I'd like to stop it.
